Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse wasted no time and congratulated the new President of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump, through a tweet.

Garlinghouse also urged Trump to host a dinner where Republicans and Democrats come together, putting aside their differences, to discuss and push forward Digital Asset Market Structure Bill which is still pending in the Senate. This bill is crucial for regulating digital assets as it aims to provide clarity and protection for investors in the market.
Clarity on ETH’s status
In a final jab at the SEC, Garlinghouse seeks clarity around Ethereum’s status. “Similar to XRP and BTC, can we get some clarity that ETH is not a security, right?!” he asked, pointing out the need for uniform and clear regulatory guidelines.
The post sparked immediate reactions from the community with many praising Garlinghouse for his direct approach. As Ripple still continues to fight against the SEC in court, regulatory clarity remains top priority for Brad Garlinghouse and other crypto leaders as well.
Ripple CEO’s post to Donald Trump indicates the immediate need of clear regulatory reforms that could shape the future of digital assets in the United States.
